Steps:

• Make the cucumber mixture: Add the cucumber and onion to a medium bowl. Sprinkle with the salt and toss until well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Transfer the cucumber mixture to a colander and rinse well to remove the salt. Drain well.
• Make the brine: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, garlic, mustard seeds, celery seeds, turmeric, black peppercorns, red pepper flakes, and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 3 minutes, until the sugar dissolves.
• Add the cucumber and onion mixture to the brine and return to a simmer. Cook for 1 minute, then remove the pot from the heat. Let sit until cool enough to handle, but still warm, about 25 minutes.
• Use tongs to transfer the pickles to the sterilized jar, then fill the jar with the brine, leaving ½ inch of headspace at the top. Seal the jar with the lid, then let sit on the counter until the pickles cool to room temperature, 1½-2 hours. Transfer the pickles to the refrigerator until ready to eat.
• The pickles are ready to eat once jarred, but taste better the next day. Store in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
• Enjoy!
